Slide #11 of the GAO's September report on 25 large school districts listed the following school systems as reporting that they will not be "Y2K ready" until after November 30th. I could see rural school systems being at even greater risk, but some urban school systems are lagging on Y2K as well...

Houston Independent School District

Clark County School District [Las Vegas]

Prince George's County Public Schools

Memphis City School District

Milwaukee Public Schools

Orleans Parish School Board

Cleveland City School District

Granite School District [Salt Lake City]

Reassign the kids to boy & girl scout troops and have them do volunteer internships helping the vulnerable populations... homebound, elderly, etc. Good lessons to be learned.

(Assuming they don't join that group as well.)
